He's Still Not Listening

After Custer’s death in the Battle of the Little Bighorn Native American legends declare his ears were removed He never listened in life, they said, so when he was reborn He would have no use for ears, for surely this much he had proved *Written August 25, 2014 for Dr. Ram's Chastushka Contest

You got me laughing, Paul. Thanks! We had to memorize Antony's "Lend Me Your Ears" speech from the Shakespeare play. I still remember most of it. Fave line: "The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."

I'm sure Custer is sorry now for the carnage he caused at Little Big Horn.
